From cultural icon Margaret Atwood comes a brilliant collection of essays -- funny, erudite, endlessly curious, uncannily prescient -- which seek answers to Burning Questions such as- Why do people everywhere, in all cultures, tell stories? How much of yourself can you give away without evaporating? How can we live on our planet? Is it true? And is it fair? What do zombies have to do with authoritarianism? In over fifty pieces Atwood aims her prodigious intellect and impish humour at the world, and reports back to us on what she finds. The roller-coaster period covered in the collection brought an end to the end of history, a financial crash, the rise of Trump and a pandemic. From debt to tech, the climate crisis to freedom; from when to dispense advice to the young (answer- only when asked) to how to define granola, we have no better guide to the many and varied mysteries of our universe.

In a captivating blend of intrigue, an honest lawyer and a Czech hand model become entangled in a mystery surrounding a box of enigmatic Christmas ornaments. As their lives intersect, secrets unravel, revealing unexpected connections and challenges. Harrison crafts a narrative rich in suspense and character depth, inviting readers to explore themes of morality and the complexities of human relationships during the holiday season.
